31 Days of Halloween ~ 31: The Grand Finale!

Hello Pulp Friends

As mentioned on Day 1 of this Classic Horror Marathon, I did this little project a few years ago: each evening of October, all month long, I sat down for an hour and drew a tribute to a classic horror movie. At the end of the month I revealed the Grand Finale to this little project, the same way I am revealing it now to you all.

So please go ahead: you are only 2 clicks away from your ultimate Halloween experience :)~~ Click on the image for the Grand Finale ~~

Click on the image above to view the grand finale.

CONTESTHope you enjoy it and if you do, please leave a note: I will randomly pick a winner between all entries posted until midnight ET of Nov 1st: Day of the Dead.The winner will receive a little Francavilla horror package :)

EDIT: WE HAVE A WINNER!!! :)Thank you everyone for entering the contest, I really appreciate it :)I resorted to a very scientific (Napoletan) method, the Tombola, to pick a random winner. The method consists in putting all the numbers in this basket:and then give it a swirl and then flip it over: the number 11 came out, which means PAUL is our winner.Paul, please send me your address and I will send you the goodies: a copy of SCHERMOSCURO Vol.1, a copy of SORROW GN, an archival print of the GRAND FINALE :)

Everyone else: please feel free to grab the book or the print (or both) during this month long sale event: all shipping and handling expenses are on me so you can save from 7 to 15 $. :)Just click on the side paypal bar for easy ordering :)And stay tuned, as I plan to do another little contest toward the end of the month.

I'm going to be watching and re-watching a lot of classics for the next few weeks (if not months) after following "31 Days of Halloween" -- The finale was fantastic! You are always one step ahead Signore. Bravo!

Man, I kept expecting some horrific face and a shrill scream in an attempt to scare me. Not only relieved, but really excited how awesome this is! It's weird to think that I enjoyed each of these every day and didn't know there was a bigger picture, so to speak. Great job!

This is the tops for blogs. 31 Days of Halloween was a treat for pulp, comic, art, & Classic horror film fan alike. All for the low low price of free. The quantity & quality of Francesco's work is stunning.

Oh bravo sir! I had a sneaky suspicion these might build to a bigger picture like your Dick Tracy from a while back, but i wasn't prepared for the sheer awesomeness of it all. Well done! I want your DVD collection...

Fabulous work. As someone mentioned above, I also expected a "screamer" to jump out at the end and scare me, but I think I was even more shocked at the fact that I didn't see what was coming ahead of time. Projects like this inspire me all the more to try and hone my skills so that I may someday hopefully have even 1/16th of your proficiency!

Francesco,These are so awesome...thanks for giving me a fun way to celebrate my favorite holiday. I loved the selection, especially Nosferatu, my all time favorite horror flick...and I loved the cameo from my Baltimore con sketch. Thanks again for that wonderful Fly piece :)Mike G

Alright, contest is closed.Thank you so much for entering/partecipating and for the sweet notes, I really appreciate them :)Will come back tomorrow (tuesday, probably around 2 pm ET)) with a randomly chosen winner and will announce it here and on twitter. Will also answer to any questions were posted here.Again, thanks everyone for making this a FUN Halloween time :)
